  2. Limbic system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limbic_system

    The limbic system, also known as the paleomammalian cortex, is a set of brain structures located on both sides of the thalamus, immediately beneath the medial temporal lobe of the cerebrum primarily in the forebrain. [1] Its various components support a variety of functions including emotion, behavior, long-term memory, and olfaction. [2]

  3. Papez circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papez_circuit

    The Papez circuit / p eɪ p z /, [1] [2] [unreliable source?] [3] or medial limbic circuit, is a neural circuit for the control of emotional expression. In 1937, James Papez proposed that the circuit connecting the hypothalamus to the limbic lobe was the basis for emotional experiences.

    The limbic system is the collective name for structures in the human brain involved in emotion, motivation, and emotional association with memory. The limbic system operates by influencing the endocrine system and the autonomic nervous system .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paralimbic_cortex

    It constitutes a group of interconnecting brain structures that are involved in the functions of emotion processing, goal setting, motivation and self-control. The paralimbic cortex integrates external sensory information with internal emotional and motivational states, serving as an interface between higher-order cognition and basic emotional ...

  7. Limbic resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limbic_resonance

    Limbic resonance is the idea that the capacity for sharing deep emotional states arises from the limbic system of the brain. [1] These states include the dopamine circuit-promoted feelings of empathic harmony, and the norepinephrine circuit-originated emotional states of fear, anxiety and anger.

    The parallel CBGTC loops have been segregated according to the functions of associated cortical regions. One scheme involves the division into limbic and motor loops, with the motor loops containing indirect and direct pathways, which are in turn interconnected with the limbic loop that projects into the ventral striatum. [9]
